Has it become harder to find that information without setting off the fed’s alarm bells?

Was fascinated to learn the PRISM news reduced traffic to privacy-relevant Wikipedia articles, a chilling effect in that case, but indicates tech-savvy folks worry about doing anything on clearnet.

…then again since they’re using CLOUD models, guess my comment doesn’t make much sense…

Why would it matter if the feds were alerted if the user were in west Africa?

99.99% of the people consuming that content are law abiding (relatively), "normal" citizens, including probably half of 13 year old boys. I'm sure the feds have access to the "list", but it is virtually useless until after the fact when they can tell the jury "and you see here, they looked it up!"
